Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) are gainingthe attention of the researchers because of their demand in space andautomobile industries for having low weight and high mechanical properties.Iron is the most used metal in all engineering fields. Therefore, reinforcingiron with CNT can reduce its required amount, which might have a positiveeconomic impact due to the reduced cost of production. However, before theindustrial application of any material the mechanical properties underdifferent conditions must be known. In this study, the mechanical properties ofiron reinforced separately with single, double and triple wall CNTs areinvestigated by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation. The study revealed that thestrength and stiffness of pure iron could be enhanced up to 80.4 % and 57.4 %,respectively, by adding CNTs into iron. We also investigated the effect offiber volume percentage and temperature on the mechanical properties of thecomposite having single, double and triplewalled carbon nanotubes individually.As the stone-wales and bi-vacancy defects are inherently introduced in CNTsduring manufacturing, their effect on mechanical properties are alsoinvestigated in the present study
